. he led the redskins from a 3-6 start to a 10-6 finish. now, all eyes are on rookie quarterback rg-iii to see if he can push his team past round 1

of the playoffs. thank you for joining us tonight. i'm laura evans. >> i'm lori newman, joined by fox 5's sports lindsay murphy. we're all tongue-tied! >> because it's rg-iii! >> you know i'm trying to watch him play. who doesn't want to see that guy run! >> this is a spot we've been in before, win or go home. we've got to do it this time. >> they are used to it by now. they have had to win their last seven games to get to this point. >> this is the big one. >> this is a huge one. if anybody's going to rise to the occasion, i feel comfortable it's going to be this team. they have had to do it a lot this year. >> all right. >> i'm glad you're confident. >> last year, it was the first time two rookie starting quarterbacks faced off in the playoffs. this year, as robert griffin iii and russell wilson's turn, setting records of their own this season in the redskins' first home playoff game in 13 years is about to be a doozie. redskins have not lost since november 4th. does that make you feel better? >> mm-hmm. >> november 4th. they rattled off seven straight

wins. alfred morris ran for a franchise record and a rookie record 13 touchdowns. but the seahawks are hot, too. they have not suffered a loss since november 25th and they enter tomorrow's showdown with a five-game winning streak. right now, players say they would rather be hot than be the best. >> i've experienced it before and seen it happen year in, year out. lot of times whoever is the hottest is the best team of the season. we're hot right now, but that can come to a screeching halt. momentum can be fleeting if we come out and play poorly and don't protect the ball early and things like that. we can keep this ball rolling, the momentum we have is definitely a great thing. >> you want to be the hottest team, the team that's playing the best right now there. are a lot of great teams that start off fast, end up being, winning the division early, securing a playoff spot, but kind of lose some of that, if they have a week off or something, and especially in the last couple of years, the teams

that have caught fire like the giants, you got the patriots -- not the patriots, green bay packers, caught fire at the right time, able to ride that all the way through the playoffs. it's not always the best teams. it's who is playing the best at the right time. >> this is tomorrow's game day lineup on fox at 3:30, kicking off coverage from fedex field with a special pregame show. the fox network pregame show starts at 4:00. 4 4:30 is kickoff, and after the game, post game show, live on the field. >> i should clarify. it's not that i'm not confident in this team. it's just that i'm nervous. >> it's a big moment. we talked about it last sunday, being the biggest game at fedex field. this is the biggest game at fedex field. >> this might be a loaded question, but if there is one thing the redskins need to watch for, what would that be? >> their defense needs to step up. the seahawks have a great defense. and the redskins' defense, great during the stretch, but haven't been great all season long. they will have to really step up. i trust that robert and alfred and the offense will get it

done. >> lindsay murphy, thank you. of course the redskins have inspired new fans with their success this year. in fact, they are even luring people away from their long-time favorite teams. fox 5's john hanrahan went to laurel, midway between baltimore and dc to find out who is leaning red and who is leaning purple. >> reporter: about 25,000 people live in laurel, maryland, located almost exactly between baltimore and washington. the nfl teams from both of those cities are on the hunt for playoff victories that will hopefully lead them to the super bowl. if you look around laurel, you will see some redskins paraphernalia on cars, but more cars in the laurel area are carrying stickers and license plates that label their drivers as fans of the baltimore ravens. >> where's your heart? >> oh, ravens. i started off as a baltimore colt fan. i never switched over to the skins. >> you're sticking with baltimore? >> oh, i stick with baltimore. when the ravens came.

ravens, but now since rg-iii is with the redskins, i do, you know, starting to like the redskins as well. >> now, if it comes to a super bowl between the two? >> i will go with redskins. >> with the pass, with the run, he's opened a whole offensive scheme, you know, for the redskins, dynamic right now. >> that was john hanrahan. it wouldn't be a big game if there weren't a friendly wager on it. when the skins play the seahawks, the lose can team has to fly the winning city's flag over city hall for a day. >> so if we are to win, when we are to win -- [ laughter ] >> -- tomorrow, we will be sending our flag out to seattle to be flown over the seattle city hall. someone asked me how we were going to get it out there. that's an easy one. anybody know what our stadium is? >> fedex field! >> there you go!
